Members of Rugby Hindu Temple, Shree Kalyan Mandal, have donated £501 to the Mayor’s charity of the year.

The cheque was presented to Rugby Mayor Cllr Ramesh Srivastava and the funds will go to the Friends of St Cross.

The Friends’ Diamond Jubilee Appeal has raised £46,000 so far to help regenerate the blood taking unit at the hospital of St Cross.

Willy Goldschmidt, communications lead for the Friends, said: “We are particularly pleased with the wide engagement that the Appeal has enjoyed with a wide range of community groups supporting it, as well as local and national businesses and members of the public.”
